Operation
The Intamix Tank Maximiser consists of a TMV with a built-in recirculation port, a cold-water T
connection and a corrugated stainless-steel hose for easy, flexible and direct connection to the
¾” male NPT threaded top connections of most water heaters.
It also uniquely features a reversible cold water/recirculation inlet connection allowing for greater
installer flexibility and a neater finish.
The TMV mixes the hot and cold water supplies and delivers a constant set temperature from the
mixed water outlet.
The Intamix Tank Maximiser allows an increased usable hot water capacity from the water heater
tank by allowing the water to be stored at a higher temperature and safely distributed at a safer
temperature by mixing the cold water and effectively increases the usable hot water capacity
of the tank. Consequently the higher potential temperature of the hot water in the tank can reduce the
risk of legionella bacteria growth in the tank.
By increasing the water temperature of the tank it also reduces the risk of legionella growth
In the event of a cold water supply failure the TMV will automatically fail-safe and shut off the supply
of the mixed water. For the fail-safe function to be guaranteed there must be a minimum temperature
differential between the hot inlet water and the mixed outlet water of 50°F.
Installation

instruction manual and according to all applicable standards, codes and ordinances.
Consideration must be given to the water quality and if in excess of 10 gra
in
s
of hardness
then an
Activflo water condition is recommended to be fitted to assist in preventing excessive limescale.
